CAP647:SYSTEM MODELLING AND ANALYSIS
L:3 T:0 P:0 Credits:3
Course Outcomes: Through this course students should be able to
• analyze the basic principles and concpets of modeling and simulation
• apply various methods and techniques of system models and give practical examples for
each category.
• evaluate output data produced by a model and apply functional modeling method to
model the activities of a static system.
• understand the operaitions of various system modelling tools and techniques
